Ripple CTO Comments on Recent Crypto Market Collapse

As an experienced crypto investor with a keen eye for market trends and a heart full of patience, I found myself chuckling at David Schwartz’s recent tweet about his mother’s advice during turbulent times like these. In my journey through the cryptosphere, I’ve learned that markets can be as unpredictable as a rollercoaster ride, and it’s easy to get swept away by the fear and panic when things take a downturn.


David Schwartz, CTO at Ripple‘s blockchain giant and a co-creator of the XRP Ledger, used his official account on the X social media site to express his thoughts about the recent market turmoil that affected both traditional finance and cryptocurrency sectors.

He intrigued the XRP community with his tweet, thus generating multiple comments.

Ripple CTO’s comment on market collapse

David Schwartz, using his XRP-related Twitter account, shared a humorous comment that has amused and puzzled the XRP community. The comment alludes to a playful warning he claims his mother gave him in childhood. It’s likely this was meant as a joke, given Schwartz’s penchant for humor on this particular account.

In his recent post, he mentioned, “When the market plummets and everyone seems anxious, I often wish I had heeded my mom’s advice as a kid.” When asked by several analysts what specific advice this was from Ripple’s CEO, Schwartz replied, “To be honest, I don’t remember! I guess I wasn’t really paying attention back then.”

At moments like these, when the market plunges and everyone seems to be in a state of panic, I can’t help but think that if I had heeded my mother’s advice when I was younger, things might have turned out differently.

Markets begin to rebound after recent crash

In just the last day, Bitcoin, the leading global cryptocurrency, managed to bounce back by approximately 12.6% and reached the $56,000 mark once again. This recovery comes after a decline of over 18% from Sunday onwards.

Starting from Monday, July 29, Bitcoin has been experiencing a steady drop. Over the period between then and now, it plummeted by approximately 28.70%. This decline brought an end to its previous high at around $69,840.

As an analyst, today I observed a significant decline in Bitcoin’s value, as evidenced by a large red candle on the hourly chart. This dip pushed the price of Bitcoin below the $54,750 mark, representing a drop of over 2%.

Amidst Japan’s stock market rebound following a recent slump that affected both cryptocurrency and traditional global markets, Bitcoin has started to regain its value. This downturn also led to significant drops in major U.S. indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. As panic set in among traders, Bitcoin mirrored this decline. The fall of crypto markets was exacerbated by a wave of forced sales, as investors sought to minimize their losses during these uncertain times.

Consequently, with the notable surge in the Nikkei 225, the primary Japanese stock index, global markets have started exhibiting signs of recovery as well.

Currently, Bitcoin is being exchanged for approximately $55,170. Following a 11% recovery, Ethereum, the second most prominent cryptocurrency, is being traded at around $2,470.
